Rick Perry Defends Gaffes: Voters 'Aren't Looking For A Robot'

"[Voters] aren't looking for a robot...or someone who's gonna be perfect in every way. They're looking for someone who's got values," he said.

During an interview with the Des Moines Register on Friday, Perry referred to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor as "Montomayor."

He admitted to Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace that "I don't have memorized all of the Supreme Court judges," but asserted that voters were more concerned with candidates' values than their ability to "read a teleprompter perfectly or spit out by memory a list of names."
